Samdech Akka Moha Sena Padei Techo Hun Sen, Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Cambodia, has called on all political parties in Cambodia to respect the political rights of the citizens.
In his address to the inauguration ceremony of two school buildings and the graduation ceremony of over 4,600 students of the Institute of Technology of Cambodia, at the Koh Pich Convention and Exhibition Centre this morning, Samdech Techo Hun Sen said that a group of young activists who used to support the opposition party turned to support the Royal Government and the ruling Cambodian People’s Party, but they have been insulted by some parties or individuals.
“You (Opposition party or activists) have not respected the political freedom of these young people. They are well aware that their support for the opposition party has been in vain in the past, and they now know who you are,” he continued, adding that they thought it would be better to work with the government such as in environmental protection or other issues for the national interest.
At the same time, the Premier appealed to all youth groups not to use violence or excessive actions against those who insulted them, just release statements to explain to the public about the truth.
Samdech Techo Hun Sen said that those political parties should come to learn from the CPP because it has never prevented its members from joining other parties. “We always respect their right to choose. All should learn about real democracy by respecting the rights of the people and not to do anything to make the youths react more strongly,” he stressed.

Cambodia is ready to join hands with other members of Asia-Europe Meeting (ASEM) to achieve the goals of peace and prosperity.
“Cambodia attaches great importance to ASEM as the relevant multilateral platform of dialogue and reaffirms her readiness and proactive engagement to work and collaborate with all its members and stakeholders to achieve the noble goals of peace and prosperity as set out by our ASEM leaders, and to bring back a renewed vitality into the ASEM process,” said H.E. Prak Sokhonn, Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation in his message on the celebration of ASEM Day 2023 on Mar. 1.
Over the past 27 years, he continued, ASEM has grown into a significant forum with its 53 members with its mission of maintaining peace and security as well as promoting connectivity and development for the two continents. It has also served as a high-profile forum for advancing dialogues to enhance multilateralism, in the spirit of consensus, mutual interest and respect, to address inter-regional issues and global challenges.
Against the backdrop of the COVID-19 pandemic, Cambodia had a great honour to host and chair the 13th ASEM Summit (ASEM13) virtually in November 2021 under the theme “Strengthening Multilateralism for Shared Growth”, with the high level of participation from all ASEM members, H.E. Prak Sokhonn recalled, adding that driving by the collective spirit to tackle the pandemic and to move toward a sustainable socio and economic recovery, ASEM Leaders have reached broad consensus on three deliverables, namely: (1) the ASEM13 Chair’s Statement: Strengthening Multilateralism for Shared Growth; (2) the Phnom Penh Statement on Post-COVID-19 Socio-Economic Recovery; and (3) the Way Forward on ASEM Connectivity. These documents have charted a new course of actions for ASEM cooperation to contain the public health crisis and to further enhance Asia-Europe connectivity through the strengthening of multilateralism for sustainable and inclusive economic recovery.
As we recovered from the COVID-19 pandemic, he said, the year 2022 has witnessed a dramatic shift in the dynamics of regional and global security and economic architecture with the eruption of the war in Ukraine, the increasing tension between superpowers and the ensuing prospects of economic decoupling and fragmentation of the global supply chains. All these factors have contributed to the weakening of multilateralism, which undermine our global efforts to tackle humankind existentialist issues related to climate change and the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
“In this critical moment, I urge ASEM to provide its decades long leadership to mobilise joint actions to deepen its cooperation to pursue more sustainable solutions to the above issues so that our two continents could maintain its course to secure a more resilient future for our next generations to come,” underlined the Cambodian top diplomat.
